I'm trying to remember the course of conversation that led to that, but I don't. When I'm taking them to school, I tend to just riff on about any subject that we happen to come across, and sometimes I actually say stuff that's worth hearing.
So the subject of that particular conversation was, like I said, alcohol, and naturally I was putting it in context of the Christian life.
The short form is that I don't think alcohol is a bad thing (although too much is), and the church has a tendency to say any alcohol is a bad thing. The Bible doesn't quite back the church up on that.
